After a long silence, a change of pace

It’s been a tremendously long layoff from the blog for a variety of reasons. This has nothing to do with Ukraine or the other issues to which the blog has been devoted, but I thought I’d share it here. I am considering broadening the scope of the blog while not abandoning its previous focus altogether. Maybe this essay I wrote for CNN is a good point of transition.

Elmer,
Thanks for your comments. I hope to get back to posting more regularly. My passion for Ukraine is not the least bit diminished. Other obligations merely got in the way.
The Jesuits certainly have had their less positive episodes in history. I think most Jesuits today would admit as much. The religious aspect of the Polish-Ukrainian conflict is an interesting, unfortunate aspect of that history.
